Folks,
We have created a back up group that mirrors this site as much as possible. It does not have the fancy bells and whistles that MSN has but it is functional and based on pretty solid research, the host (Google) is rated the most reliable. We need this, especially if all goes to hell during the MSN/Multiply transition.
There is a subscription service on the Google group that I haven't quite figured out but it would serve those who only want to receive e-mails from certain threads. I know that has been requested; however MSN Groups has never adopted that technology.
Anyone is welcome to join. Google has a smaller but solid audience. Perhaps it will continue to grow as I believe they've only been "open" a couple of years.
Anyhow, myself, Ed, and Sophie (when she joins up) will play with the group. The more that join the more we'll play
Obviously, if the Google Group becomes more popular then more attention will be played there.
Moreover, we need your feedback! Please let us know how you like the functionality of the Google Group versus the MSN Group and soon to be Multiply Group. We will weigh your opinions in particular regarding the level of importance you place on "functionality" versus "technical options."
The Google Group offers basically the same services but lacks the aesthetic capability of MSN so it will be interesting to see what is most important to you all.
Anyhow, check it out, join, and let us know what you think! Click below:

I believe and Ed can correct me if I'm wrong, we're going to leave this as a backup group in case the transition to Multiply in the coming months does not go well or if you all prefer Google.
